Creative Claw — MiniMax Speech 2.8 HD

Read shared execution guidance once per task before using tools. It covers existing authorization, model discovery, optional cost checks, imports, and recovery.

Use this model specialist inside creativeclaw-generate-voiceover. MiniMax is the strongest alternative when a native system voice, broad multilingual catalog, or global emotion/pitch controls matter more than ElevenLabs v3's line-level delivery tags.

Workflow

1. Identify the script language and regional variant, speaker profile, use case, emotion, pronunciation risks, and target pace.
2. Choose a native system voice_id from get_model_params. Use Wise_Woman only for an unspecified English brief; do not carry that default into another language.
3. Call get_model_params({ model: "speech/minimax-hd" }) and treat its voice IDs, language_boost values, and parameter ranges as authoritative.
4. Preserve approved wording. Use MiniMax pause and interjection syntax only; do not copy ElevenLabs or xAI tags.
5. Call generate_speech with model, text, voice_id, and the exact language_boost. Add the top-level emotion or speed only when useful; put pitch, volume, format, and pronunciation controls in the current runtime-supported fields.
6. Audition pronunciation, regional accent, emotion, pace, cue leakage, clipping, and loudness. Fix the smallest affected section before recasting the whole script.

Voice selection

Use get_model_params({ model: "speech/minimax-hd" }) for current system voice IDs, language labels, and provider-supported controls. Match the script language before delivery style. Offer two suitable voices when the user asks to choose. Keep one voice ID per speaker across a project.

The curated catalog includes English, Mandarin, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, and Korean system voices. Hebrew language support does not imply a Hebrew-native voice: the current curated subset has none. Do not promise a native accent without auditioning it.

Performance controls

• Pauses use <#x#>, where x is 0.01–99.99 seconds: Take a breath.<#0.4#>Now begin.
• Supported interjections include (laughs), (sighs), (coughs), (clears throat), (gasps), (sniffs), (groans), and (yawns).
• emotion is global. Use only values returned by get_model_params for the active provider; Pika and fal expose different emotion sets. Omit it for a neutral read.
• Use punctuation for local phrasing. Do not invent [excited], <whisper>…</whisper>, or other provider-specific tags.
• Start with speed: 1. Prefer about 0.9–0.97 for reflective narration and 1.03–1.1 for energetic ads; stay within the runtime range.
• Use a pronunciation dictionary for recurring names or brands when the runtime exposes it. Write a name phonetically in the script for a one-off correction.

Call example

{
  "model": "speech/minimax-hd",
  "voice_id": "Spanish_Narrator",
  "text": "Hoy empieza una nueva etapa.<#0.4#>(sighs) Y esta vez, vamos preparados.",
  "language_boost": "Spanish",
  "speed": 0.96
}

Completion standard

Keep one voice ID per speaker across a project. For alternate languages, recast with a native system voice rather than assuming one source voice will retain a native accent. Use get_model_params to discover additional supported voices. Do not use example search for voice selection.
